Moreover, this is the second consecutive month that mild temperatures have led to a record low in Antarctic sea ice coverage.

The average land and sea temperature in June 20 19 is higher than the global average temperature of 59.9 degrees Fahrenheit (15.5 degrees Celsius)10.71Fahrenheit (0.95 degrees Celsius), making June 20 19 the United States/kloc-0. Since 20 10, nine of the ten hottest June have appeared.

In the United States, Alaska is the second hottest June since the state 1925 began to record. Although the Hawaiian islands are almost always mild, the tropics also experienced the hottest June this year. The same is true in the Gulf of Mexico. [Reality of climate change: 10 Myth shattered]

Europeans also sweated last month and experienced the hottest June on record in the whole region. Austria, Germany and Hungary all recorded the hottest June in history, while Switzerland was the second hottest.

Last month's high temperature covered the earth so thoroughly that it reached the melting point of the earth. June, 2065438+2009 is the 20th consecutive month that the Arctic sea ice coverage is below the average level, and the Antarctic sea ice coverage is below the average level for the 4th consecutive month. The ice sheet area in Antarctica is the smallest in the history of 4 1 year, exceeding the historical low of 62,000 square miles (160,580 square kilometers) set in 2002.

The high temperature in June is the same as that in the first few months of 20 19. The global temperature so far this year is also 65,438+0.7 degrees Fahrenheit (0.94 degrees Celsius) higher than the average temperature of 56.3 degrees Fahrenheit (65,438+03.5 degrees Celsius) in the 20th century, and it ranks as the second hottest with 2065,438+07,65,438 438+ 10/0 to June. According to the data of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), it is warmer only from October to June in 2065438+2006/kloc-0.

This is a major global climate event in June 2065438+2009. Are these record high temperatures the result of climate change? Yes, Joseph Werner, a professor of geology and environmental science at the University of Pittsburgh, once told Life Science: "By definition, climate is the long-term average of weather for many years." Cold (or warm) years or seasons have little to do with the overall climate. When those cold (or warm) years become more and more regular, we begin to realize that this is a climate change, not just an abnormal year, "he said."

As extreme heat waves occur more frequently around the world and the earth's temperature continues to rise, it is increasingly difficult for us to ignore climate change. A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change in June found that unless measures are taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, this hot trend may continue every year.
